“Once people get all the way to partnership and find they’re still not satisfied, it can be a very difficult place to be – you can end up feeling alienated. Partnership doesn’t solve that many problems – younger people tend to be suffering from anxiety and older people tend to be suffering more from depressive issues. Both are examples of stress– the response to 25 years of it is to feel trapped and stuck and depressed; the response to two or three years is to feel anxious that you can’t do another 20 years of it.” Jon Copping
